RELIGIOUS GOALS
SLATED FOR YEAR
Welfare Recovery Leaders
Spurred by Message
From Roosevelt.
Stirred by a message from Presi
dent Roosevelt, an address by Sec
retary of Commerce Roper, and ap
peals from Jewish, Roman Catholic
and Protestant speakers, the National
Committee for Religion and Welfare
Recovery last night proposed a year
■round program designed to revital
ise religion in the life of America,
and "contribute to bringing in a
better day for our Nation and the
world."
Distinguished leaders of the three
great faiths at the Willard Hotel
Joined in declarations of the great
"need" in modern life for a strength
ening of the moral and religious fiber
of the people. Coupled with this
were reports of a steady recent
growth in church membership, and
encouraging indications that church
work now is on the “upgrade.”
Special Days Planned.
The program adopted last night
cn motion of Louis Kenedy of New
York, recommended observance of
several special days throughout the
year, such as “Golden Rule Observ
ance of Mother’s Day," next Sunday,
and Fellowship Week In October cul
minating in Loyalty Sunday, when
all faiths will co-operate in a mobili
zation of the religious and welfare
forces of the Nation, October 6.
••Stewardship" was stressed and ar
rangements suggested for a steady
Nation-wide educational program
throughout the year.
In response to a greeting from
President Roosevelt, to the session,
the committee as its last act on
motion of Dr. Christian F. Reisner
of New York, sent a pledge to the
Chief Executive signed by Walter W.
Head of St. Louis, chairman, and
Charles V. Vickrey of New York, sec
retary.
After expressing appreciation for
the President's greeting, the commit
tee’s letter declared that “we. repre
senting the three great faiths—Jew
ish, Roman Catholic and Protestant—
pledge our sympathetic support in
every way by which religion can con
tribute to bringing in a better day
for our Nation and the world. To
that end we covet your continued in
terest and co-operation in making the
program of our organization effec
tive.”
Roosevelt I'raises Alms.
President Roosevelt in his message
taid:
"I earnestly hope the splendid ob
jectives sought through the confer
ence will be obtained. To bring con
vincingly to the hearts and minds of
our people their full responsibilities
and opportunities In strengthening
the spiritual forces of the Nation is
a task of major importance. If perma
nent economic prosperity is given
proper safeguards the business, social
and religious life of our people must
be eo-ordinated. It is not enough to
work out trade agreements and con
fine our efforts to the solution of
business problems alone.”
Secretary Roper, Bishop James E.
Freeman, Rev. John Cartwright, pas
tor of the Church of the Immaculate
Conception; William Weiss of New
York City, president of the Union of
Orthodox Jewish Congregations of
America, and Mr. Head addressed the
final banquet session, and messages
were read not only from President
Roosevelt, but from Senator Arthur
Capper, of Kansas: Senator Royal S.
Copeland, of New York; and Bishop
John S. Stamm, of the Evangelical
Church, Kansas City.
Roper Cite* History.*
Secretary Roper stressed the need
for religion not only in individual
lives, but in the life of nations, and
pointed to historic instances where
nations caught in “social cataclysms”
had turned to God for strength.
“Those institutions which enhance
private character, as the church sure
ly should,” he declared, “contribute
to our representative governmental
system and Institutions of democracy

Religious Leaders Join Forces
Representatives of the Jewish, Catholic and Protestant faiths are shown above at luncheon of the National
Committee on Religion and Welfare Recovery yesterday at the Willard Hotel, where the new movement, espe
cially In Washington, was praised by the following (left to right): Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, canon of Wash
ington Cathedral; Dr. Abram Simon, rabbi of Washington Hebrew Congregation: Walter W. Head of St. Louis,
chairman of the National Committee, and Dr. John Cartwright, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Concep

body politic which are proving so dis
astrous to dictatorships where the
popular character has not learned
loyalty to well-defined concepts of
right. In a word, our times demand
private and group conscience and con
sciousness and the church should help
stimulate them."
“We must rebuild the lasting life of
man everywhere in terms of God,”
declared the Secretary of Commerce.
“You must help the world build more
lasting foundations and upon such
lasting foundations build a more per
fect superstructure. Religion alone
can give life meaning and purpose."
Values Stressed.
Secretary Roper pointed out that
the church had a leading role to play
in restoring “spiritual values” in
American life, but he declared the
“churches have not received a divine
mandate to be a political leader or 1
executor, or administrator of tem
poralities. It should not absorb the i
forum," he said, "the market place or,
counting room. It is the divinely ap
pointed custodian of the Word, not
of particular secular policies, except
when such policies obstruct and con
tradict the spiritual.”
The new movement here in Wash
ington under which Jews, Catholics .
and Protestants are united in the
“Committee on Religious Life In the
Nations Capital," received prominent
attention from the national group.
Bishop Freeman, who is chairman of
the group, paid glowing tribute to
the fellowship and spiritual values of
the movement In his address last :
night. Three speakers from Wash- j
ington, Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes,

Simon. Rabbi of Washington Hebrew
Congregation, made a deep impression i
on the noon luncheon group, whose
program was entirely devoted to the
Washington plan.
Bishop Freeman last night charged
that American life still was in a "ter
riffic slump," due to a "moral sag"
started In 1929, but expressed the
profound conviction that religion,
stimulated through the new co-oper
ative movement Into a "sweeping re
vival." eventually would see the "world
sustained and buttressed by a faith
in the living God.”
5,000 Arrive Before Noon.
Roosevelt Prepares to
Veto Measure.
By the Associated Press.
The Whit* House was deluged to
day with telegrams urging the Presi
dent either to sign or veto the Patman
cash bonus bill.
Attaches estimated that 5,000 had
arrived before noon, but there was no
check as to whether the majority
favored the legislation. Veterans’
leaders had asked their followers to
send to the White House and Capitol
Hill telegrams demanding enactment.
Apparently Piesident Roosevelt was
not taking time to read the messages.
He was prepared to veto the bill soon
after It reaches him from the Senate,
where bonus leaders were trying to
marshal every ounce of their strength
to save the measure from defeat.
Mr. Roosevelt’s conference yesterday
with financial advisers was taken as
meaning that in the event Congress
override* his veto the President will
insist upon levying new taxes.
He did not mention the word
"bonus” In a greeting he sent last
mgnt to st. louu, wnere tne conven- i
tlon Committee for the forthcoming i
1936 American Legion conclave was in
session.
“War veterans are and should be In
terested In the welfare of the country
as a whole," he said. “Our constant <
objective is to care for the disabled, .
the sick and destitute. American
Legionnaires and the veterans of all >
wars support this national policy.”
In some quarters this was regarded
as echoing the idea the President ex- :
pressed at Roanoke, Va., some time
ago in an address generally inter
preted as a stand against full and

of what critics have envisioned as
political control over the Federal Re
serve System.
Generally, bankers already heard by
ihe Glass group have expressed oppo
sition to the Federal Reserve pro
visions of the bill. Opponents ap
parently reserved their strongest at
tacks on these sections until hear
ings began on the Senate side of the
Capitol.
House passage of the bill came after
that body had smashed down a pro
posal by Representative Cross, Demo
crat, of Texas, to make the Federal
Reserve System a central Government
owned bank.
Cross proposed that the Secretary
of the Treasury be authorised to buy :
